politcians will be noble, prices will be stable...................but one thing is for shure...........lipo batteries will be smaller and lipo batteries will offer more and more capacity............and bikes will go faster

Funny enough I am 100g underweight???! Somehow I overshot my targets by far!!
Maybe its because of the high quality Carbon Patrick Alleven used to make
the parts. I am not sure. I was so eager to put the bike together that I forgot
to weigh the parts beforehand.

I found it!! The darn Fairingclips were way overweight. I had overridden the weight manually so it did not update properly.
I was hesitating if I should post the results but thats what it says: 0,4g off target!! Now I feel much better
As a bonus the CG came down a little

....I nearly lost the last bit of sanity I still had. Just as a hint what I mean: I wrote I "lowered chassis weight by 10%" in a earlier post......thats a insane 23g less *ROFL* the ESC and Receiver are placed so, that I dont need any extensions and the wires to the LIPO and Motor are as short as possible.... I hope I thought of everything I even tried to reduce the use of Cable-Zip-Ties to ZERO (HEY!!! A ZIP-TIE WEIGHS 0.18grams SO DONT LAUGH). All I will need to keep everything in place is a square inch of double sided tape (thats 0.9grams).....or for example not one measurement in the whole bike equals "13,0mm".
....oh and did I mention that I had a pastor, a celtic witch, a pixie and a voodo priest approve every decision that had to be done. A elf had to switch on my workstation in the morning, a virgin brought me my coffee and after a days work 7 dwarfs cleard away the dead chickens that had to be sacrificed if I wasnt sure what to do.....

I posted this after I finished the 2011 a while ago... people thought I was joking...

As always much thanks for your replies and great pictures.
I see the battery & also fairing bottom are pretty close to the ground compared to an ole' bike FM1e. May I ask what the ground clearance is with & without the fairing?
I love your bike and I keep getting more ideas of how to finish the main chassis on mine. Mine is still very old school type like BD4, KP etc using fairly standard swing arm, this time...

With brand new tires
the suspension completly relaxed
All adjustments on the bottom limit:
its appox. 26.4mm.
with the fairing its half a milimeter less.
But thats not really compareable to a "conventional" bike.
